STEPBROTHERS 20
Elena’s pov;Life is sometimes very unpredictable. You never know what can happen unless you get the whiff of it beforehand.Some people mourn over it. Yet some stay neutral, thinking it was what God had planned for them. But for me I was just playing with my life at this point. Nothing mattered to me. It was as if I was numb to all the feelings. An hour had passed since mother dearest left the room. I didn't had the courage to get up and go back to the wedding arena. The pounding within my head was slowly withering away leaving the dullness behind.Life teach us a lot of things we don't actually know. As we grow, we slowly start to think deeper and deeper. I could hear hustling behind that locked door. Will they ever consider thinking about me? Or was I that worthless?Leaning back, my fingers shot up to my forehead, feeling the dent and a huge scratch. The cracked ridges felt good under my skin. The first ever injury mother caused me. A crazy smile made its way on my face as I sc

Elena’s pov;You shouldn’t hate yourself but the world instead.It’s very important to do what’s best for you, whether people approve of it or not. This is your life.But what if that self-love is turned into hatred? That is when the person starts to act all depressed.Just like me. The irony, you see. The will to fight and live gets snatched away from your hands in seconds.Growing up, I saw several parents with their children in the park, playing and joking around. They adore their little ones. And I? I used to sit in a secluded area, trembling, to hide from the monster that lived within the house of evil.Inhale and exhale. The tears that spilled out of my eyes had no effect on him. They say that crying is a way your eyes speak when your mouth cant explain how broken your heart is.But was he able to see the battered heart? No.He was ruthless. Like a beast. His own daughter had died at the hands of his drunk girlfriend infront of him, the trauma took a huge turn when I came into

3rd pov;Later that day after the ceremony, Elias had drove her back home after she had passed out from exhaustion.And now Elena was the official stepdaughter of Damien. “We’ll be leaving for our honeymoon tonight.” Damien announced it to the people who sat for breakfast on the table. “That’s great dad, where are you going though?” Lucifer asked.“To Phuket Island in Thailand.” He replied, grabbing his wife’s hand lovingly.“And we’ll definitely bring back you all some souvenirs.” Maddie chuckled, answering the silent question everyone had in their hearts except for Elena. “Cant wait.” Lorenzo gave them a warm smile.“Also, when are you all leaving?” Damien asked his family who was currently residing in his house. “Not sure. Ella wanted to stay here for a few days and since I’m not busy, she thought it was good opportunity.” Kaden replied, taking a bite out of the jam filled toast.“Yeah, and I’ve got shopping to do with her.” Mariana nodded.“Alright. Then I’ll just entrust my kids

Elena’s pov;Ever had the feeling when you wanna burst your anger out just because your officially fed up? oh well that is exactly what I’m feeling right now.After that encounter with Maddie this morning, I ran back to my room with surfing anger, the only thing that could calm me down was singing.So I had rushed to the gym, the only place which was mostly empty after breakfast.Sitting in the middle of the weird looking machines, I sighed for the thirteenth time, loving the feeling of her words that had sparked another wave of hatred in my gut.Was I happy for holding hatred in such a younger age? the answer was a simple, yes. Cause why not?People should get what they deserve.Humming the tune that I wrote a few days ago, I got in the rhythmic music that played in my mind.“Take a deep breath, Make both sides of your chest numb, until it hurts a bit, breathe more.There is nothing left inside of you, until you feel.It’s okay even if you’re out of breath,No one blames you.” Heav

Elena’s pov;“No! we have to watch this one.”“Ugh what the- NO. This is so cliché.”“You both shut up, we’ll watch it, if everyone agrees on it.” Ella hushed the kids down. Their simultaneous bickerings was bringing an ache to my head.Damien and the birth giver had already left for their honeymoon, so us kids and the elders were the only ones left. And that’s how the boys all came to a conclusion that they should have a movie night.And if you’re thinking how did I end up here in the cinema room? well, basically I was dragged none other than Ella and Elias. Their words and I quote, ‘you should get to know the boys and your Uncles more.’As if they care, eh. So here I am, sitting in a secluded corner with a boring expression resting on my face. Quite ironic, no?“Aunt El, please please, Star-Wars.” Shane uttered with a whiny face.“Grow up, little Shane.” Adrian replied, with a smirk.“But-"“What do you wanna see, Elena?” Ella suddenly asked, abruptly silencing the boys up once aga

Elena's pov; Fall and leave everything behind as if nothing happened. Some people adapt to their surroundings but some don't. Those who don't always pay the harsh price. They never forgive but instead they live with those harsh memories and torture themselves with those thoughts until nothing is left. "Red or blue?" "Ew, no to both!" "You're just jealous I can wear this but you can't." Ella snickered, looking at Elias. I sighed leaning back on the red couch as the brothers counterattacked Ella with their lazy comebacks. Earlier the day, Ella suddenly threw her opinion of going to the beach and the family agreed to it without any issue. And I? as always want to stay back. But these people can't let me. Ryder replied, "why would Elias want to wear that? he ain't even a goddamn female." She huffed and crossed her arms over her puffy chest, "Whatever." Her gaze shifted on the pilled up clothes. "Elena, are you really not coming with us?" I shook my head. "No." "But why? We c

Elena's pov;"You look so pretty and beautiful, Elena. This light red color suits you a lot."Here, I stood infront of the mirror, with a full sleeved floral sundress hanging from my body till my ankles in the most elegant way.From my view, I looked nowhere pretty infact I looked ugly as hell---extremely fat, tan-skinned and a disgusting cookie."You should wear these earrings. My youngest, Tyler got these for me on my birthday." Ella showed me their reflection in the mirror. They were beautiful and almost to shiny for my eye. Diamond studs with a green outline.These type of jewelry pieces weren't made for me. I shook my head. "No, thankyou Ella. You've already done enough." She cocked an eyebrow. "Are you sure? these go with your dress though.""Thanks again Ella, but I would have to decline." I replied blankly.The problem was if I wore them, the boys would have questioned me and I didn't want that to happen. Not anymore. My thoughts were interrupted by Felix's voice and knockin

Elena's pov;The summer breeze flew with pressure, leaving a tingly sensation on my bare neck."Sunscreen?" Ella asked. Her own hands filled up with an ample amount of cream which she vigorously applied on her naked arms and legs.I shook my head and got up, muttering. "I'll be back. Just going for a quick stroll." Without hearing Ryder's reply, I went further away from the happy family.To me, it felt like a huge sin when I sat with them. They looked peaceful with each other and to be honest, I didn't won't another argument to rise because of me.My trails of thoughts died down as I neared the ocean.A small smile grazed my face. The wind harshly collided with my body, making me feel the emotions I longed for, since young.The lapping majestic aqua waves came crashing onto my naked feet, wetting my dress in the process.My whole soul was hypnotized by the powerful emerging tides. It was beautiful, alluring and calming at the same time.Gripping my dress, I lifted it up till my mid fo
